Uprising in Brazil

Post by broman »

Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro breached security barriers set up by the Armed Forces on Sunday and gained access to the country’s congressional building, the Supreme Court and the Planalto Presidential Palace, according to images shown in Brazilian media.

The incidents recalled the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump. Political analysts have warned for months that a similar storming was a possibility in Brazil, given that Bolsonaro has sown doubt about the reliability of the nation’s electronic voting system — without any evidence. The results were recognized as legitimate by politicians from across the spectrum, as well as dozens of foreign governments.

It'll be fun when Bolsonaro finds out that Trump and DeSantis can't help him fight extradition.

National soccer hero, retired Generalissimo and four-time winner on "Brazil's Got Talent" condemns the violence.

These guys were as brainwashed as Donald's followers. Propaganda's a powerful drug.

This is how you do it. But I guess it requires people in charge of the National Guard to not be part of the conspiracy.

There are many in Central America and the Middle East who might disagree with you.

Exactly. The right to disagree...an aspect of democracy
